Don't make these mistakes with your NVMe SSD installation - NVMe tips and tricks

In this video, we're going to be talking about some of the most common mistakes that people make when installing a NVMe SSD, and how to avoid them. We're also going to be going over some of the best ways to measure the performance of a NVMe SSD, and dispel some of the myths about NVMe PCIe speeds.

If you're looking to install a NVMe SSD in your computer, then this video is for you! We'll cover everything from the basics of NVMe SSDs to the best way to install them. We'll also discuss some of the key factors to consider when choosing a NVMe SSD, and how to measure their performance.

The process for installing is really easy but may vary depending on your motherboard - some have heatsinks and different screw setups. It's also worth checking your manual as you may find that not all the drives work the same way.

NVMe installation is easy in theory but it's important to keep these things in mind:
- Use the top spot where possible to ensure x4 PCIe lanes
- Remove any plastic stickers from heatsinks and shields
- Use thermal pads to disperse heat
- If you install multiple drives this may reduce PCIe lanes available for your GPU
- You may need to change settings in your BIOS
- When installing in Windows use the Disk Management/Create a partition settings to set the drive up
- Always benchmark to make sure it's running as it should be.

You should check the MB manual for the bifurcation table which will detail PCIE lane sharing details.

Love this! I just recently added my SSD to the wrong slot after checking in Samsung magician. I'm still new to the custom PC space, so videos like this help me out a ton! Thanks for the tips/guide!

Thanks you for these great tips. I don't have any Gen 4 stuff yet, but I'll make sure my 3 NVMe's are working properly thanks to your video!

This seems to be a very underrated channel, the content is excellent. One question I had and was confusing from the manual, is there a difference or something to be aware of when installing NVME double sided vs single. It mentions rubber grommets and seems slot dependent looking at a ASUS z790 manual. - Cheers

Followed your instructions on my 10 year old pc after purchasing a ssd. Thank you so much for the information as my computer is like new now and it was so easy to do using your instructions 😀 😊

Happy to see NVMe slot between CPU and peg slot. I was the engineer inside Intel added a nvme to desktop in Skylake time keeping atx form factor.

It's not always the top slot. Some boards steal PCIe 5 lanes from the GPU in the top slot (M.2_1), reducing your GPU from x16 to x8. This would be less of an issue with a PCIe 5 GPU, but the current generation of GPUs are PCIe 4, and will lose performance. The correct slot for a gen 4 drive can be M.2_2, if the board routes the CPU's x4 lanes there.

Hey! Thanks for your video. I am building a PC and I bought two same exact M2 SSD. When installing windows, how do I make sure I select the fastest one? Not sure what to do. If I install one first it will be a pain in the butt to remove the GPU to install the second one

Thank you so much for this! You explained clearly and deffo saved me from a lot of pain, installing my new 990 2Tb. Love your style so: liked, Subbed, shared and commented! May I ask, nay beg, that you make a vid explaining the subtleties of provisioning, over or under!? I truly love the way you explain things and I'm sure that with your guidance, the penny will finally drop! Thank you once again, you are a legend, Sir!

As always a soothing and helpful guide for this nutty new technology. As some have mentioned, you should definitely be looking at your motherboard manual. I think people try to wing it too much and with m.2 you cannot do that. Many people don't know you will often lose the use of a few sata ports when using m.2 on certain slots as well. I check m.2 configuration before I even buy a motherboard so I know it will work for my need.

I cannot get the M2 screw in. Or to be precise, the thicker screw that the other one goes into, the one that goes below the actual drive. Are you supposed to be able to just manually twist that in?

@TheLordNugget

I will say, that you should check your motherboard's manual before installing. My Asus ROG Strix B650 mobo doesn't state that one slot is better than another. My old Asrock X370 Tai Chi directed me to put the sata drive in the top slot and the NVMe drive in the second slot for full speeds.

You can just right-click the Windows start button and go right to disk management directly in Windows 11. If I remember right, the same shortcut works in 10 as well.

Thank you. I just installed a 2nd 4TB ssd on the motherboard, and it didn't show, but after watching your video above regarding "disk management " it came alive 😊
